Auto Insurance Discounts for Women Drivers

Through statistical studies, insurance underwriters are aware that women are involved in fewer car accidents than men, and receive fewer citations for moving violations. For these reasons, women are generally regarded as safer drivers and are assigned lower auto insurance rates than men. Starting with that given, women should expect to pay less when shopping for car insurance rate quotes.

Women can obtain discounts on their premium for being a safe driver, a non-smoker, and driving a limited number of miles per year. When it comes time to renew your homeowner's policy, adding your vehicle to that policy, as well as combining multiple cars under the same insurer will save money as well. Women who take steps to protect their vehicle from theft can qualify for a significant discount for installing theft recovery or theft-prevention equipment on their vehicles.

Not only are women more careful drivers, but they also take more precautions to protect the other occupants of their vehicle. Installing LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children) can keep your child safe and qualify you for a discount. It is normal for all of us, as we age, to gradually lose our visual acuity and note that our reaction time is slowing. It pays to participate in a driver refresher course in dollars and in preventing accidents.

Not only do women need to shop for the best price on their car insurance, but they should also shop for insurers who offer these types of discounts and are more sensitive to women's needs.
